Will guppies be ok with dwarf gouramis, platies, other guppies, and neon tetras?

I suppose that the fish don't like to settle down in a bare aquarium, which hinders them from getting territorial.

well..

Would it be ok to keep 2 dwarf gourami males in a 20 gallon, or definitively not!?

 

[jm1212]

no it would not, just like i said before. the bigger one will inevitably beat the other to death.

 

[$eaba$$]

ok.

ok, I guess I won't be getting another then lol. Is there anything really similar to a gourami?

 

[jm1212]

you shouldnt mix gourami species in a small tank like that, especially three spots and the like ( opaline, blue, gold, platinum... etc,) because some ofthem can get extremely agressive towards other male gouramis, even if they are not in the same species, and three spots and the like are also bully fish that are smaller than they are. its best to stick with the dwarf gourami and then the platies and guppies.

:''''''( lol I want more Dwarf Gouramis, like 2. They're soo cool!

Ah man lol... Wait, did you say 20 gallon is small? I think it's big , because I'm a beginner. So not even 2 dwarfs in a 20? jus making sure again lol.

 

[jm1212]

im telling you, it wont work. they are going to go at each other until one dies. if you want to get another, get a 10 gallon and have one in there too along with some more corys

im telling you, a 20 gallon isnt that big, and you cant do alot with it. a 90 gal. is big. or a 120 is big

Well paradise fish kinda look like dwarf gouramis. I think you can kepp 2 of those. I'm not sure though. O ya I forgot if you can find a dwarf gourami with yellow stripes instead of blue you can get that and a male because that's a female but they're hard to find.

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in regarding the dwarfs. I myself have 2 males and they are in a 20g tank. It is a standard 20 also. What I have noticed is if you keep the tank with enough plants and decor to keep them from "Making eye contact" they will at time be ok. I agree most of the time more then one male will not work in a small tank. They get territorial and if they don't have there own area of a tank they will get mean. If they have there own area to claim then in most cases they will leave each other alone. Now I'm not saying to go out and get another male I am only stating that it can be done with the proper tank setup, even in a smaller size tank.
